Bamberg is a picturesque city located in the Upper Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. Known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and charming old town, Bamberg is often referred to as a "Franconian Rome" due to its seven hills and numerous churches. The city is situated on the banks of the Regnitz River, which divides it into three parts: the historic island city, the market gardeners' district, and the modern district. The island city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the heart of Bamberg and showcases a unique blend of architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque.
